Tessie and Gianni's Australian Bushland wedding had some gorgeous DIY details like their flower-covered homemade cakes, mismatched wedding party, and champagne cocktails. But we couldn't get over this bird-rescuing couple's homage to their favorite pet, their cockatoo. They set up a very special floral-covered place for the "best bird." Let's hear it from the bride herself...

Our pet cockatoo was our "best bird" and one of the groomsmen. Since we rescue birds and consider them family, we wanted to have one their as representative.

Such a sweet idea for their fine feathered friend.
